Job description

We’re looking for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen at Evil Onigiri’s flagship Forge (outlet). You’ll be responsible for running the back of house end-to-end — from R&D and menu development to kitchen team management and cost control. But more importantly, you’ll help shape the soul of this brand through food.

You’ll work directly with the founding team to create dishes that are bold, unexpected, and crave-worthy — the kind that make people talk long after their first bite.

Experience Requirement :

  • 6–10 years of professional kitchen experience, with at least 2 years as Sous or Head Chef.
  • Proven background in Japanese, pan-Asian, or fusion kitchens.
  • Strong leadership skills — able to inspire, train, and manage a small team.
  • A creative streak and curiosity to experiment with flavour.
  • Solid understanding of food costing, vendor management, and kitchen operations.

Responsibilities :

  • Lead and manage all kitchen operations — from prep to plating.
  • Create, test, and perfect new Onigiri, small plates, and specials that align with our Japanese-inspired, rock-spirited menu.
  • Maintain kitchen efficiency, cleanliness, and compliance with FSSAI standards.
  • Manage and train junior kitchen staff, setting clear expectations and SOPs.
  • Control food costs, inventory, and vendor relationships.
  • Ensure consistency and quality across every plate served.
  • Collaborate on plating, presentation, and brand visuals for photo / video shoots.
  • Work with the founding team on seasonal menu updates and event menus.
  • Concept :

    If your cooking philosophy is “balance and technique,” but your playlist screams Queens of the Stone Age, Rage Against the Machine, and Knife Party, you’ll feel at home here.

    Evil Onigiri is not just building a kitchen — Evil Onigiri is building a cult brand.
